Scholarships at GGBCF

The Greater Green Bay Community Foundation administers more than 100 scholarships annually.

Through the generosity of our donors, scholarship awards range from $500 to $40,000 and are based on a variety of criteria — from need, academics or planned major, to volunteer service, athletic participation or commitment to the community.
